About this episode

The episode discusses the concepts of choice and control in animal training and welfare with behaviorist Ken Ramirez.

Many training conversations lately involve the buzz words Choice and Control. In fact, zoological welfare programs often insist that choice and control form the foundation of good animal welfare, but are these behavior terms new or simply a rebranding of protocols trainers have been using for decades? Renown behaviorist, Ken Ramirez, Executive VP and Chief Training Officer for Karen Pryor Clicker Training returns to discuss the history, importance and limitations of these terms.
